Froelich's Frolics

I want to ask anyone who read this to pray for my Aunt Halcie. She is the oldest of my Dad's siblings, and the only daughter. She has not been well for the last several weeks. She has complained of stomach pain for some time now. She had lost a lot of weight very quickly, and just did not look good. Well, this past Friday night, she was rushed to the hospital and had emergency surgery. The doctor removed a tumor that that was on her colon. this tumor was blocking the colon, causing the right side of her colon to expand like a balloon and fill up with bacteria and all kinds of yucky stuff. Well, it expanded so much that her colon tore near her appendix, causing all the bacteria and all the other stuff that is usually in a person's colon to leak out inside her body. The doctor said that it took a long time to flush her body of as much bacteria as he could. The good news is that the tumor had not spread anywhere else. But the big problem was that she had a lot of bacteria still in...

I thought I would give y'all an update on the wedding plans. We have decided on June 13, 2009 at 3PM. (Eight months from today) That date would mark 18 months of Carl and I being a couple. We officially became a couple on December 13, 2007. Colors are pink and burgundy. We are going to have roses for the bouquets and decorations. We have decided to go with 4 attendants. I will have my Maid of Honor and 3 bridesmaids and Carl will have his Best Man and 3 groomsmen. The ceremony will be at our church, the Franklin Pilgrim Holiness Church, and the reception will be in our Fellowship Hall. We have asked our Pastor, Tim Forsee, to perform the ceremony. We are going to have 2 Flower girls, my little cousin Brooklynn and a girl from church, Olivia. The Bible Bearers are going to be Carl's nephew Elijah, and one of his cousins. Brooklynn and Elijah will both be two by the day of the wedding, so we thought pairing them with someone a little older would be helpful. We haven't decided...

...are coming together, slowly but surely. Carl and I talked today at lunch about when we would like to get married. We are leaning towards late April 2009, which is 6 months away. We even talked about our honeymoon a little today as well. :) We haven't discussed colors yet, but we do know that we want to have the ceremony at our church. We are not sure yet if our Fellowship Hall would have enough room for the reception. We both have decent sized families, not counting friends and other people we know. Wow! How exciting! This planning stuff is so much fun! I can't wait to go try on dresses! By the way, if anyone knows of a place in Indy (or relatively close) that sells modest/conservative bridal gowns, please let me know.

Well, the day has arrived. Carl asked me to marry him last night! I am so excited! I never thought that I would get married, and now here I am, newly engaged. It is absolutely amazing! Carl kept telling me the whole week that he had something special planned for Saturday night. He kept talking about gifts for my birthday, as in plural. On Friday, my actual birthday, he had roses delivered to work for me. There were 12 red ones and 1 pink one. They are so pretty. Saturday, we went to wedding reception for Katressa and John. We left there pretty early to up to Indianapolis to celebrate my birthday. When Carl picked me up at my house, he handed me a card and said that was all he was giving me at the moment. He told me that he had a total of three gifts for me to open, since he knew that I like to open gifts (I am still a little kid that way, I guess:)...). He let me open two ofthe gifts while we were in the car before we went to dinner. One was a Colts fleece jacket (that is very nice and...

...I will be 30 years old. Wow, three whole decades of my life have gone by. What a sobering thought. What will the next 30 years of my life be like? Will we even be on earth for 30 more years? With the way the world is today, the Rapture could take place at any moment, and I really believe that. I want to make sure that I am living my life exactly as God wants. He knows the plans for my life, and He knows what is best. Well, I didn't mean to go in a serious direction with this blog, but I guess my fingers decided otherwise. This post may seem more jumbled and random than most (but I think all of my posts are jumbled and random), but bear with me. There is a quote I have seen that would go perfectly right here...I am not random, I just have many thoughts." That is so true in this post. Here goes... We have moved into the house in Whiteland. We are still in the process of unpacking all of our stuff, and Brother Dunn is still doing some work on the house, but we have officially ...
